Gift of $30 million to Marquette University Law School is announced
Joseph J. Zilber, Milwaukee philanthropist, real estate developer and Chairman of the Board of Zilber Ltd., a real estate holding company, announced today that he was committing $50 million to charities, organizations and institutions in Milwaukee. Milwaukee is at a critical juncture in its history, Zilber said in launching his "New Potential for Milwaukee" initiative.
Zilber made the announcement at a press conference held on the site of the planned, new Marquette University Law School at 13th and Clybourn near the Marquette Interchange, flanked by Marquette President Robert A. Wild, S.J., and Law School Dean Joseph D. Kearney. Zilber said he would have further statements about his initiative, which includes today's announcement of a $30 million gift to the Law School, in the next few months, as he approaches his 90th birthday.
